    Web setup resources

    For Domain Registrar I like BUy Domains.com If you have a High speed at the house - Windows XP has a web server built into it - And you could host your own at home. Since you need a computer on for the ACII to connect to, and it has to send the info to the main server. For hosting...

    o2manyfish - Sat Dec 18th Free Frags for Kids

    Mike, Now if I was using the kids to make frags for me to sell.... Well that might be considered commercialism. But once again I am giving stuff away. I know the difference between commerical and contribution, charity and caring can be confusing. :) Rob, Thanks for the compliments. You...

    Winter Coral Woes.... Anyone Else

    I am not sure if it's a temperature issue as much as perhaps a seasonal thing, or something nasty that might be spreading through the hobby. I definitely handle more corals than most, and bring alot more funky stuff into my tanks than most. But unfortunately know a large handful of people...

    1250 gallon tank lighting???

    The Lumenarcs are great pendants, and light a 2x2 area really well. The new 400w DE pendants are said to light a 3x2 area. 1000w in the Lumenarcs is awesome - Check with Carlos at Xtremeaquatics.com - He uses 1000w Helios 20k with the Lumenarcs - And his tank looks great. Dave B

    Calcium reactor capacity

    The mechanics of a calcium reactor are not affected by size. A small reactor (size of a coke can) can handle the demands of a 1000g stocked SPS system. However you have to add media more often. Large reactors just make less work for us. As for efficiency, reverse flow is usually more...

    Winter Coral Woes.... Anyone Else

    Hey Folks, In the last month or so, I have spoken with many people who seem to be having problems with their well established SPS tanks. Older colonies are being lost. I was wondering if more peope than just those that I have spoke with have noticed this. I know it's not always the easiest...

    o2manyfish - Skimmer Comparison

    Chuck, How is the Imperator doing ? The passer is gorgeous, but is missing a pectoral fin, he went into the tank with no fuss from any of the other angels. Haven't named a fish in awhile - but going to call this one 'Nemo'. Goldflake is gorgeous, I am tempted to go check in on the juvie on...

    Currently running in the system breaking in, and educating me how to adjust the system is the Aqua C, Via Aqua, Geo, BQ, and Deltec. This past week Tedinator, Algaeguy, Ouinla, and a couple of others have come by to help in watching for fairness, and also their own opinions regarding...

    o2manyfish - Skimmer Comparison

    Ken, The temperature would be hard to study. Since the system is outside controlling temperature is impossible, but factors that I think would have a greater effect like humidity and barometric pressure are impossible to control in this environment. Dave B

    Iwaki pump stall

    Might have been something that caught in side and caused it to bind. Iwaki is definitely one of the more reliable pumps, just not the quietest. Dave B

    What would you do if.....

    Nikki a) Relax and be calm b) Determine how bad the situation is c) See notation A Depends on how much your salinity dropped - My system is big so I make salinity adjustments by just dumping a bag or 2 or 3 of salt directly into a high flow area of the sump (50g Salt Mix) --- While...

    Help needed

    Mike, Contact Helios and ask for a donation - They have T5's that have waterproof endcaps. I put them in the 3 school tanks I support. You can hold the light entirely submerged and not get shocked. Dave B

    What would you do if.....

    1) Turn the lights and the power to the tank off - Your GFI should save your tush - but why challenge yourself on a Friday.... 2) Don't just switch things off - Actually unplug from the wall. 3) Remove the lighting and any fragments of glass. Wipe down everything with freshwater and...
